Fantasy Tip: Paul performed swimmingly when Jordan Reed was injured last season and proved to have TE1 potential when he's given the opportunity to start. Nothing is set in stone yet, of course, so keep an eye on Paul and the Falcons once free agency commences.

Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman could be the full-time back in new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's scheme next season, according to general manager Thomas Dimitroff. "My first impression of him is that you can feel the quickness. In our outside-zone-system, I feel like this is tailor-made for a guy who can really explode off the edge," head coach Dan Quinn said.

Fantasy Tip: Freeman could excel in this new offensive running scheme under Shanahan, and impending free-agent backs Antone Smith and Jacquizz Rodgers could land elsewhere. Heading into 2015 fantasy football drafts, Freeman could be an excellent choice as your No. 2 RB.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons PK Matt Bryant signed a three-year deal worth $8.5 million with $1 million guaranteed. He has base salaries of $1,350,000, $1,550,000 and $1,200,000. Bryant has a $2,483,333 cap number for 2015.

Fantasy Tip: Jackson can be considered over the hill at this point in his career, though he still does have some fantasy value if nothing more than as a goal line running back; he had six touchdowns in each of his two seasons with the Falcons. Devonta Freeman and Jacquizz Rodgers will take over duties out of the Falcons' backfield, with Freeman likely having more fantasy value.

Fantasy Tip: While kickers may be the most flexible position in fantasy football, Bryant was one of just five kickers to play in at least 15 games and make 90% of his field goals. He's a top-tier candidate heading into 2015.

Atlanta Falcons DE Osi Umenyiora isn't planning on retiring any time soon. "[I have] zero plans to retire at this moment," Umenyiora said. "I feel like I can still play… the way things ended last year, I'm just not going to end my career like that. That's not going to happen." Umenyiora added that he'll know when the time is right to retire.
